AIDS is characterised by the onset of opportunistic infections and/or neoplasms usually of the lungs, digestive tract and CNS. Eye involvement is less common but takes the form of Kaposi's sarcoma on the eyelids and conjunctiva and retinitis that may be aspecific or caused by CMV or T gondii. Treatment with Interferon, and sequential antifolic and antiviral drugs is effective but the prognosis for the underlying disease remains poor.
